Featuring a pair of title fights in the evening’s headlining contests, UFC 136 takes place Oct. 8 at Houston’s Toyota Center.

The evening’s main card airs on pay-per-view. Simpson vs. Schafer takes place on the evening’s preliminary card.

UFC officials have not formally announced the change.

Schafer returns for his third UFC stint. After a 1-2 run in his first, he fought his way back into the organization in 2008. He won his first two outing (with stoppage wins over Houston Alexander and Antonio Mendes) before setbacks to Ryan Bader and Jason Brilz via decision. After his release, he took off 18 months, dropped to middleweight, and picked up a submission victory over Chris Albandia at XFO 41 a week ago. He’s now 5-2 over his past seven fights.

Simpson, a two-time NCAA Division I All-American wrestler, looks to build on the strength of back-to-back victories over Brad Tavares and Mario Miranda at UFC Fight Night 24 and UFC 132, respectively. After suffering consecutive losses to Mark Munoz and Chris Leben, Simpson has gone back to his wrestling roots for the past two contests and netted decision victories in both outings.

Ronda Rousey’s statistical greatness has already ventured into uncharted territory – just six fights into her UFC career. Check out all the post-fight facts, including Rousey’s latest achievements, about UFC 190.

UFC champion Ronda Rousey did it again when she smashed Bethe Correia in 34 seconds at UFC 190. But after her third straight opponent tries and fails to make it out of the first minute, the world’s best female fighter needs a better dance partner.
